Kevin-Prince Boateng has made a somewhat strange move to Serie A. The Ghanaian World Cup star has been sold by Portsmouth to Genoa, only to be immediately loaned out to AC Milan for the season to help them boost their Italian Serie A odds.

The deal will see Boateng join Milan on a permanent deal next summer if the midfielder proves himself at the San Siro. Genoa would make a healthy profit from the deal despite never pulling on the club’s shirt.
Boateng was determined to leave Portsmouth ever since the club was relegated at the end of last season. He was one of the clubs stand out performers despite a turbulent season for the South Coast club, scoring five times in 27 appearances in Portsmouth colours.

His performances for Ghana in South Africa this summer caught the eye of a number of Europe’s big sides. The former Spurs midfielder was one of a number of players that Portsmouth were keen cash in on this summer as they try exit administration. The deal has reportedly made Pompey £5million.

The move to i Rossoneri is a big one for Boateng, while the World Cup showed his quality as a player, his temperament in the past has been questioned by Online Betting pundits. He never really got a chance at his last big club Spurs, the pressure to succeed at Milan will be like nothing he has ever experienced and Boateng will be under pressure to perform. The attacking midfielder will be suited to the style of play in Italy though and will be in a team with enough quality for him to gel with.
